They Say That a Man

They say that a man can’t escape his fate
They say that a man can’t escape his fate
When it’s your time to go,
You’ll be going on that date
They say that a man can’t escape his fate

They say there’s a moment when the end is drawing near
When scales drop away and everything is clear
When it’s your time to go,
You’ll be going on that date
They say that a man can’t escape his fate

They say such a moment will surely set you free
To contemplate your fate and all eternity
When it’s your time to go,
You’ll be going on that date
They say that a man can’t escape his fate

They say they’re gonna put me deep into the ground
And it’s no use hiding, ‘cos you will still be found
When it’s your time to go,
You’ll be going on that date
They say that a man can’t escape his fate

They say if you’ve been good, the Lord will welcome you
Well, I sure as hell hope, he welcomes sinners too
When it’s your time to go,
You’ll be going on that date
They say that a man can’t escape his fate

They say that a man can’t escape his fate
They say that a man can’t escape his fate
When it’s your time to go,
You’ll be going on that date
They say that a man can’t escape his fate
